Review of: Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. Icons of the realm Figure Set. Tyranny of Dragons First run.
Ok lets start with. I love toys, and I
love plastic Figures for Role Playing. Sure I did the whole Mattel
Mini thing and even painted some good ones. But I love toys and I
love the Plastic Sculpts, mostly because I cant paint. I also love
the versatility using plastic Figures provides. I can mix and match
Toy Dinosaurs and Weird Stuff from the .99 Store with my Official
figures and it works.
The previous sets of Official Dungeons
and Dragons figures had some of my favorite Sculpts ever, and as the
Current set was from Wiz Kids and was the Beginning of the Dungeons
and Dragons 5th Wave I expected some pretty Awesome
figures.
After all the Red Dragon and Brass Dragon from the current run are amazing.
After all the Red Dragon and Brass Dragon from the current run are amazing.
The Starter Box Costs about $16.00 and
is large enough to Hold One Huge Figure, or a Big Figure and a few
small ones or a Lot of small ones.
So with Child Like Glee at the prospect
of New toys, I opened my Box to see that I had gotten
1 Pegasus Figure, one stand for said
Pegasus but no way to attach Figure to stand.
One Creepy Smiling guy ,one Halfling
and one-Well I'm not sure, I think its a Small Demon?
That’s it. $16.00 for 4 figures. No
catalog poster of the Set, no Stat cards for the Figures or even
explanations of what they are?
The Pegasus is Ok, but the fact they
did not provide any way to attach it to the stand is a big let down.
The other Three figures are-Well IMHO CRAP!
Weird Smiling guy? I have no clue, is
this a Necromancer, a Witch or just some Creepy Old Guy who wants you
meddling kids off his Lawn?
The halfling figure was ok in that I
could tell what it was. Sculpt wise it was armature at best
As for the Grey lump of Plastic with
vaguely Humanoid features? I guess its a Small Demon or a Homunculus,
but I don’t know? As I said. No Stat cards, No Poster Showing the
Figs Numbers and Names and if the name of the Creature is on the
bottom of the Figure-I cant see it!
I am unbelievably disappointed in this
first run, especially since the Dragon Sculpts are so Awesome.
I know Wiz Kids and WOTC can do
better. I have seen them, but they better hurry up and improve the
next run because the Figurines from Mage Knight and Pathfinder are
Cheaper and better.
On a Scale of One to Five. I Give
these a Two! Save your Sixteen Dollars kids, its better spent on
Plastic figures from other sources or a bag of Plastic Dinosaurs from
the .99 Store.
Till next time-Be excellent!
